August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop

August 4, 2022

Welcome to the Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop & Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Tania’s blog. Be bold, and be beautiful! This release includes fabulous florals, a geometric background, and even a set of sentiments perfect for the bibliophile in your life! We know you will love creating all kinds of inspiring projects with the stamps, dies, stencils, and embossing folders in this release. It’s time to get crafty!

This release was really fun to play with so let’s get into the cards. I made a load of cards today so I’ll start with the one I made the tutorial for. This card I’m featuring the Altenew Linear Lines. A beautiful background stamp that makes any card look marvelous. You can heat emboss, stamp or make a simple watermark on a card with this great stamp.

Altenew August 2022 Bold & Beautiful Release Blog Hop

Within the tutorial you will see how simple this card came together with just a bit of gold embossing powder. A simple sentiment from the stamp set along with the Altenew Just Leaves dies really finished off this card nicely.

You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you. (Some items were substituted in the product links are some products were no longer available.)

Next let’s take a look at the card I made using the new Altenew Arch of Flowers stamp set and coordinating die. I absolutely LOVE this stamp set. As you can see from below I made three cards using it.

This card made using the Altenew Arch of Flowers stamp set and Altenew Alcohol Makers on pink cardstock. Starting out by stamping the image on pink cardstock in black ink, I then colored the image. Using pink cardstock my background color was already there. Make sure to use marker colors that won’t look muddy or won’t look good with an undertone of pink. I die cut the image again and colored just a few flowers and leaves.

By fussy cutting out just a few of the flowers and leaves, dimension was added when I popped them up on the card. Soft pearls and faux white stitching using a white gelly roll pen was a small addition I thought the card needed. Keeping a clean sentiment was perfect for this card and a simple white card base.

For my next card, I used the coordinating Arch of Flowers Simple Coloring Stencil with my Altenew inks. For a dramatic shading, I used the markers close in color to draw a thick outline around the flowers and leaves. Again I used the coordinating Arch of Flowers die to I could pop the flowers. To keep the card simple, a stenciled card base using the Altenew Mighty Corners stencil in a light warm gray on a white card base made the flowers really stand out. A simple hello was all this card needed for a sentiment.

Now for this card. I REALLY wanted to see what this would look like on black watercolor paper embossed in gold. And oh my WORD!!! I used metallic watercolors and I have to say, this is my favorite card. The sentiment is from the Altenew One Go Birthday Greetings.

And for my final card, the Altenew Intricate Mandala stencil was used with shades of  pink, yellow and aqua inks. Adding a top layer of  sparkle paste set these colors nicely. Next it was time to fussy cut this mandala out and place it on a black card panel. A simple birthday greeting from the Altenew One Go Birthday Greeting stamp set with the coordinating die was placed on top of the mandala. I added white dots around the mandala and at the top and bottom of the cardstock. I placed this onto a white card base and added just a few gems to finish off the card.

Let’s talk about the giveaway. To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! That’s a total of $300 in prizes. Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 08/10/2022 for a chance to win.

Altenew July 2022 Summer Love Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

July 22, 2022

Welcome to the Altenew July 2022 Summer Love Release Blog Hop + Giveaway. You should have arrived here from Virginia’s blog. Let’s get into some of the cards I have for you today. You can also check out other cards I have made using Altenew products here.

 

 

 

My first card is featuring the Altenew Geo Triangles Embossing Folder and the Altenew Geo Triangles Stencil. These two products together make STUNNING cards. I mean check out how sassy this card is.

 

Altenew July 2022 Summer Love Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Starting off first with the colors, I sponged on Altenew inks in Snapdragon, Honey Drizzle, Teal Cove, Midnight Violet across a piece of Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock. To create the color blend, I made sure to overlap the colors just a bit. Next placing the paper in the Altenew Geo Triangle Embossing Folder, it was time to run it through my diecutting machine.

 

 

 

Altenew July 2022 Summer Love Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

Once the diecutting was over, I trimmed down my piece to fit a 5″x5″ white card base. The sentiment was created using the Altenew Bold Alpha Dies. For just a little sparkle. each letter had a bit of Scrapbook.com shimmer pen layered on top of it.

My next card is featuring just the Altenew Geo Triangles stencil. Using the same colors as my previous card, however I omitted one of the colors to keep the white background. Love how random the pattern looks without using four colors.

Wanting this panel to really pop, trimming it down and adding it to a back panel of black cardstock worked perfectly. Just an addition of faux stitching with a white gelli roll pen finished the card off.

Altenew July 2022 Summer Love Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

All the card needed at this point was a sentiment. I heat set a sentiment from the Monsteras & Quotes stamp set in white embossing powder on black cardstock. Since I didn’t want to cover up too much of my design, I trimmed the sentiment piece as close as I could to the sentiment and popped it up center on the card.

This release celebrates friendships with its charming images, flowers, and heartfelt sentiments. Show your bestie how much you care, or reach out to a long-lost buddy! We can’t wait to see how you use the products in this collection.

Let’s get into my card. I used the Build-A-Garden Tulips & Friends Stamp and Stencil set. Using the included stencil really makes working with these sets so easy.

For my tulips and leaves I used Altenew Fresh Lemon, Honey Drizzle, Chamomile, Snapdragon, Pastel Sunrise, Canyon Clay, Mountain Mist and Sweet Leaf inks. Just look how wonderful these colors go together.

To keep the card soft, an embossing folder was a perfect spot for my tulips to land. The Altenew Enchanting Vines worked perfectly with a backer panel in a soft yellow cardstock.

Pulling in just a touch of black, I heat set a few sentiments to add to the front of the card. This card really was a breeze to pull together. Now let’s talk about the giveaways.

To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $50 gift certificate to 2 lucky winners and a $25 gift certificate to 8 winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or each designer’s blog post on the blog hop list below by 07/18/2022 for a chance to win.

Altenew July 2022 Summer Sunshine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway

July 1, 2022

Welcome to the Altenew July 2022 Summer Sunshine Collection Release Blog Hop + Giveaway ($300 in total prizes). You should have arrived here from Laurie’s blog. The release has a great summer vibe and will make your summer cards look oh so fabulous.

Let’s get into my card. I used the Altenew Monsteras and Quotes Stamp Set, Monsteras and Quotes Simple Coloring Stencil and the Altenew Monsteras and Quotes Die Set. I love very graphic leaves and this stamp set has just that AND fantastic sentiment to go along with it.

I kept my card very clean and simple. Lots of white space along with black and white polka dot washi tape to frame out the sentiment panel. Stamping the leaves in Altenew Black ink and then using the stencil with Altenew Bamboo and Altenew Grass Fields inks really makes the leaves pop. Using the coordinating the dies helps to trim them out nicely.

The cleanness of just the three colors of black, white and green truly makes this card a stunner.

I really enjoy working with products that make creating cards easy. When purchasing the Freesia Hot Foil/Die/Stencil bundle you have everything you need to start creating.

Add in a simple background element like the Altenew Scallops Cover Plate and a quick sentiment from the Altenew Bold Sentiments stamp set and your card is complete.

My next card is featuring the new Altenew Exquisite Marble Hot Foil Plate. My word this makes on gorgeous card. I used brown foil and the beautiful Altenew Brushed Rose Metallic Cardstock to create this background.

To be honest, the photo does not give this card justice.

Adding a simple thanks die and a few coordinating sequins and this card was ready for the mail.

Morning everyone. I'm up on the @heroarts blog tod Morning everyone. I'm up on the @heroarts blog today sharing a tutorial using the new Hero Arts Tiling Textures stamp set with the Gold Hero Wax. This wax goes on like butter and once dried it's wonderful to stamp on. 

One of the tiles in the stamp set reminds me of honeycombs, so of course I needed to pull out cute bees from the Hero Arts Beelieve stamp set. It's a match made in heaven.

Head on over to the Hero Arts blog for more photos and a link to the tutorial. I also have a detail write up sharing how this card was created as well. Have a great day everyone.

Happy Friday everyone. I hope you're having a grea Happy Friday everyone. I hope you're having a great evening. Have you seen the  @simonsaysstamp Dream Big release? Oh it really makes my heart happy.

I had the chance to color up these adorable unicorns from the Born the Sparkle stamp set. I mean these unicorns are just too darn cute. My medium of choice were my Copics makers. I decided this card need some dimension, I stamped the unicorns and clouds once on my panel card stock and again on a separate piece of card stock so I could color them. Next I fussy cut each one out to pop them up on my card. 

This card really does make my heart happy. Unicorns for the win! Have a wonderful weekend everyone.
